http://www.planetf1.com/news/brown-difficult-environment-for-title-sponsors/ what an absolute useless individual... I do hope the Bahraini Royal family realise quickly just how stupid this whole thing was . Performance is not done in a corporate environment. BMW tried it and it didn't work. There wa...

I still hope the Bahraini Royal Family realises they were tricked by Ojjeh and make a U turn.

It still amazes me how they were convinced by Ojjeh rather than Ron, considering Ojjeh has a big interest in a rival team.

paul_gmb

totally sad to see Ron go. I hope Zak Brown accepts Mclaren role, as I don't want to see Bernie go in the same week. Altough, seeing SKY latest episode, i do feel Bernie's doomed as well. What people don't understand, is that F1 can't be run like a corporation. The pace of everything is so fast, tha...

I really hope Hamilton wins the world championship, as some of his fans are getting on the "nut" side. The only one that had to take the escape road Nico. You have to be either stupid or blind to think otherwise. Why he took the grass is even more logical, he would have risked coming back on a track...

paul_gmb

I like Ron, he's a good guy and a team player. For me it would be a big shame if he'd have to walk out.

paul_gmb

I don't support Hamilton at all, and I really want Nico to win it, but again Max has moved in the braking zone. And this time it was a sudden move. Technically he could not be penalised, that's why Mercedes are not protesting, but the issue still needs to be adressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/126570/hamilton-walks-out-of-media-briefing He added: "I'm not actually here to answer your questions, I've decided." oh..kay... I don't see any issue with this. His efforts on the media side of things have been way bigger than any of the drivers. If he w...

paul_gmb

Common man, he can use his phone all he wants, he is polite to answer all the questions, I don't think anyone should feel dissrespected. We have a great season finale, and both Nico and Lewis have done enough to earn it, so whoever wins it, will have deserved it. I don't necessarily think Nico has s...

paul_gmb

2014 was his best year IMO, looked quicker than Lewis in Q and put him under pressure in most races they both ran clean regardless of who finished in front with the exception of Malaysia and Japan. Only had 2 other weekends I thought he was as bad as he's been in the first half of '15 and that 8 ra...

paul_gmb

of course this is not over yet. 9 points with 5 races to go ( in the old system ), it's definatelly not over. altough it amazes me that everyone takes lewis as a god and nico as a bag of s***t . no lewis is capable of beating nico on his good day, and the other way around. It all depends on circumst...

paul_gmb

I think we need to have the same kind of patience with Max as with his fans that are new to f1 . Just because Daniel does pretty much the same job without a big noise around it, doesn't mean Max is doing all and Daniel is just gifted things. It's pretty much the same with Rosberg and Hamilton. While...

lewis can take the same upgrade but he will take a penalty.

Common man, relax, sometimes things go your way sometimes they don't.

So they both lost about 79 points and Lewis easily won the WDC by 67 points? Yes Lewis was much better in 2014 and 2015, and has been better (but not by the same margin) this season. What does that have to do with who's had worse luck? So in 2015 and 2014 luck didn't change the outcome remotely. My...

Hamilton pointing the finger at Mercedes now... 43 engines and only his have failed, he said "something doesn't feel right". Completely ridiculous stuff from him given what Mercedes has done for him the past few seasons. I'm sure the team will love his comments. this is PR baby. Hamilton will apolo...

paul_gmb

I think Hamilton would be more appreciated had it not be for his fanboys

paul_gmb

i don't think anyone expects of sky f1 NOT TO SUPPORT HAMILTON.

I am not in the UK, but I watch races on sky. The bias is annoying at times, but nowhere near as annoying as the national broadcaster

paul_gmb

I don't think this is evident to some people, but Nico has won 8 races compared to Lewis 6. To be only 8 points behind in the championship, if I were Lewis, I'd be rather satisfied.

paul_gmb

Glad to see Alonso has come out in Verstappen's support instead of those crybabies. Not surprisingly, Hulkenberg also has. Hamilton too http://en.f1i.com/news/69461-hamilton-alonso-defend-exceptional-verstappen.html Looks like all these drivers in support of Verstappen waited for the dust to settle...

Don't worry, at some point Max will clash with Lewis. I just hope there won't be a major accident. After that, Lewis knows hot to get media/fans hyped up so that Max will understand that ALL the other drivers can do what he does, but it can really cause huge shunts. I really hate the approach Lewis...

Nah, Verstappen got away with driving like an absolute dick today. He's getting away with it because he's up against experienced campaigners who know better than to crash into someone to prove a point, but at some point someone on the grid isn't going to yield to his rubbish and there's going to be...

I love hard racing, but pulling out in the pit lane next to another car puts mechanics at risk, fact. This is not needed. Either pit lanes have to have two dedicated lanes, like they do in a lot of American racing, or they have to be single file, no matter how good it may look. As for Max, I'm all ...

I reckon Force India will finish 4th. I reckon McLaren will end the season as the clear 4th best team (personally I think they're just about there anyway) but probably won't pick up enough constructors points to actually finish 4th. :thumbup: with some incidents ahead, they might just end up on the...

I think Verstappen will annoy some die hard fans tommorow. I think most likely it will be hamiltons fans if rosberg does a fair start.

Unfortunatelly it will require some form of huge shunt to tame what is really a very good driver.

paul_gmb

The ranking of Rosberg is quite harsh. He's usually very clean in moves. I could just take the example of Barcelona, driving around the outside of Lewis. The one with Verstappen was hard racing, but never as bad as people make it to be. It was Banzai, but even Danny Ric has such moves and everyone e...

hamilton fans complaining, of course

paul_gmb

why the hell would you tell ROsberg to stay put in the first laps, and only after that you put him on 3 stops.

Mercedes have screwed him bad.

paul_gmb

Rosberg at fault. For me it's just like Canada, some races ago, Nico took the run off that time, Lewis didn't this time. It was 100% avoidable by Lewis, but of course he did not back off, why should he. I still don't understand why Nico took the runoff at the start in Canada. I would have just turne...

The other example is FUJI 2008, same scenario, same cold weather, Hamilton overshooting it again and ruining the race for others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBzo74W1oaI Repeating and you show an 8 year old video? What is wrong with showing Hamilton hasn't learned a lot from having been Button'...

paul_gmb

Hypocrisy? Also the height of hypocrisy is people saying Rosberg locking wheels and somehow staying in the track is in control, but when Hamilton understeers, then it is not being in control. It's definitely not one way traffic, though. How many of those who blamed Rosberg in 2014 are now doing the...

both max verstappen and hamilton had drive through penalties. Has anyone actually seen them serve them ?

paul_gmb

It just came to my mind an ironic fact. Actually both Caterham and Marussia were insolvent at that time ( technically bankrupt ). That weekend in Japan was financed by some local sponsors, for Caterham to run Kobayashi ( of course this is a good thing ). If creditors would have not accepted Caterham...

Running the team badly or not, Dennis worked for it and kept it alive for 30 years. Of course being an owner doesn't make you a good manager. still after so many championships won during the years, I still think he did a fairly good job. If they do start winning with Honda, he'll be ok again. Eddie ...
